Yahoo! Plans to Connect Services With Tivo

Posted by Hemos on from the the-slow-move-to-merger dept.

Mango Man writes "According to the NY Times, Yahoo! and Tivo plan to connect their services to help differentiate themselves in their respective markets. The first feature offered will be modest: Tivo users will be able to find programs in Yahoo!'s listings and send them to Tivo to record." Ladies and gentlemen, begin your merger rumours!

    How will Yahoo know to send the info to MY TiVo?

    Same way TiVo is able to send programming instructions now on their website? It's not like each TiVo doesn't have a unique id. I would think all Yahoo does is just being a portal through the TiVo site.
